U bolt are specific wall u bolt for specialized jobs, such as hanging a mirror. Other fasteners can work for a variety of items. Make sure you select the fastener that will be strong enough to support the item you wish to display. If the fastener is not strong enough, the result may be more work to repair the spot on the wall that is damaged from being pulled out of the wall by an object too heavy for the item.
When hanging heavy objects, you will want to find a stud to anchor the fastener. A stud locator will make finding a stud in the wall much easier. Lighter loads can be hung between the studs with the correct fastener. These could include plastic expansion anchor plugs, toggle bolts, screw expansion anchors and toggle anchors.
You will need certain tools and materials in order to successfully install a wall fastener. These tools include a screwdriver, hammer, stud locator, and a drill and bits. Materials you will need include the correct wall fasteners, nails and screws.
Normally, walls are constructed of drywall that is screwed or nailed to framing studs that are located either 16" or 24" apart. The stud locator will come in handy to find those studs. Once eye bolt stud is found, you can measure 16" or 24" away and approximate the next stud. Use the stud finder again to confirm the location. Another type of wall in older homes is a plaster wall. Drilling a pilot hole smaller than the screw used to attach the wall fastener will prevent cracking the plaster wall. Pilot holes also make it much easier to drive the screw into the correct location with minimal damage to the wall.
